We did some tidying up today, there was a part of the trail that had to be aligned underneath a large Spotted Gum, finally got to doing it properly. We had to drag rocks from afar, as we needed to do some 1/2 bench and the rocks where to provide support for the fill.

| Starting the rock collection ! |
It's never ideal to align any trail below a tree, you have to contend with the roots when you try to put a bench in, but sometimes it's unavoidable. After gathering more rocks, then benching and dragging dirt to use as fill, the trail was starting to take shape
 |
| Lookin' fine |
We continued on further down the trail, where another piece of off camber track needed some benching,
 |
| That's some mighty fine pickin' and rakin' ! |
Little by little we're attending to the finishing of the first part of our trail network. The only major job left is the construction over a large log. It's on an off-camber corner, so we will be putting an in-slope on it. The timber for the bearers has been seasoned, we've scavenged some hardwood for the decking, now we just need to find time to get it done !
